Scionverse

Reader mode
My problem with the Scion verse is that I don't know Scion, and I dare say taht it is not a very well know franchise, personally, I won't read scion-fics unless it's a crossover with another media I know.
 
I rarely have more to say than 'i like this, please continue writing'. and that sort of thing isn't very constructive, so i simply don't say it.

Well, I do try to make those crossovers. Of course, I probably look fairly obsessed and insane on FF.net (as I'm the only author in the Scion section.)

Well, a *little* encouragement is appreciated. I got only a single review on FF.net. I was seriously wondering if everyone hated it for some reason.

A question up to anyone whom has played, how would constructing a constructing a cultural orbital run game-wise? (Lets say by a Hephaestus/Vulcan scion)

Pretty dang epic for a Demigod, but quite doable with Arete Crafting (have an effective 51 dots of skill on a 1 to 5 scale *should* mean something, dammit.) Probably a level 5 Relic by itself, but very, very large so would take a very long time and massive resources.


As a God? Just pick Sanctum 5. One space-station that bridges the real world and the Overworld and is the size of a small country.
 
It's fine, but it's not one of the Sheila story I'm particularly interested in. I like the Honorverse Scion story better.

I actually did some writing for that today (and spotted four typos in the downloaded copy, so that makes it hard to fix easily.)

You know, I thought I was just strange for a while. I enjoyed all of the other Scion stories immensely but the home universe one just didn't click for some reason.

It seems the 'more original' characters of the players from my game don't catch people's attention, though some people like my portrayal of Dolph (the Son of Hel).
 
From the Scions of Sunnydale (so I don't pull a Joe there)

No disrespect intended, mate. :) I'm just reading your non-cross story now, and I'm having fun. Nice mix in your Band.

But I'm really interested in how you deal with the highly Christian Monotheists of Grayson handling the war goddess working for the Manties. Should be interesting, in the Chinese sense :drevil:

The reactionist Graysons actually have two nice targets for their hate. In a lot of ways, they hate Sheila more than Honor, but Honor is an easier target. Honor actually lives on Grayson and is a Steadholder, while Sheila is just a foreign officer (who happens to be assigned to the Mantie fleet helping protect Grayson.)

I think I have a comment about some of them feel she's the devil reborn. The only thing holding them back is the fact she isn't actually forming a religion *or* being in contact for being its focus.

I do enjoy the story, but I admit I like the crossovers better. Any chance we'll see more of 'The Other Path' any time soon? I like the way Sheila changes the course of DC history, there.
 
Other Path is probably going to be rolled over into a Post-52 x-over a bit, most likely later this year (when Wonder Woman finishes her first story arc.)

As in post-Flashpoint, where Superboy is sort of a bad guy, and Wondergirl is a thief, or do you mean post 52?

They are in a war fighting for their lives. And it's not like she runs around saying 'convert or die!'

Post Flash-point. Let's just say that story could be a little complicated.
 
Well, Sheila's slightly 'out of context' in issue, even if Cassie is her dimensional-doppleganger (I hadn't realized that they were both modern, blond daughters of Zeus of roughly the same age.

Now
Diana being the daughter of Zeus in the new continuity
is actually my favorite change of post-Flash Point. No more 'power of the gods' given to one random Amazon.

Well, I don't think I ever said that there was nothing worthwhile in the new continuity. I'd have
made her the daughter of Herakles/Hercules
, personally, but
Zeus
works well, too.
 
Minor snippet from Honor of Scion IV - Command
'Lost One, it is time for thine test,' a deep, dissonant mental voice inflicted itself as if from the darkest nights. 'You must learn sacrifice.'

Between one blink of absolute midnight and another, all of the treecats disappeared.

"That... is not a good sign," the demigoddess said worriedly.

The deep snarls of Hexapuma off in the distance reverberated like saw-blades of obsidian grinding into bedrock mountains.

"What the hell did he mean?" Daria asked worriedly.

"Considering VC and Atlas are also gone, the only thing I see left around here to sacrifice is you, Lt. Golds. And that is not going to happen. We need to get to high ground." With that, they took off through the deep forest.

I'm sorta caught in a scene that I want to have fairly match canon Honorverse while showing that it is a fated moment, so Sheila can't really affect it and I'm not sure how to write that correctly.

Laws of probability go wonky. Equipment breaks, the wind blows dust in your eyes, and logistics gets screwed up. You get sent med-kits instead of MREs, ammunition instead of med-kits, and MREs instead of ammunition by the quartermaster. This Rant, covers many of the things that can happen when fate gets in the way.


The opposite happens for those supported by fate as well.

Well, someone has to make a very big sacrifice (and if you know your Harrington books, you probably have a good idea who I am talking about). I'm sort of aiming 'supernatural things distract' *and* basically Sheila/VC feeling something actually actively stopping them from
getting back to Honor and Reverend Hanks during the space-port assassination attack.

Its been a while, wither can't remember it or haven't got to that book.

Wait. That scene already? I thought the last that happened in your series was basically book 2. What happened to Short Victorious War and Field of Dishonor?

He's talking about Flag in Exile events if I've got it right.
 
Well, there is a bit of 'time passes' at times. While I'm sure I could bore people with Sheila doing paperwork on RMNS Hepheastus, it would not be very interesting.
 
No one else posts their Scion fics there. They *are* out there. But they haven't posted them.
 
Nice new story! I'll leave a detailed review later in fanfiction review section, but for now - will we see technomantic revolution with acasual processors utilizing time-turners and matter replication and stuff? This iteration of Sheila seems to be technologically inclined and Harry Potter does have a huge potential for tech creation and abuse.

Also, Weasleys colonizing space.
 
Arthur, i greatly respect your ability to write, are all those stories in your ff.net folder that you're working on?

She has too much free time. She only needs to sleep once a month. Which is why she was able to research the schniz out of Voldemort and know his real name.

Oh, no. That's like about 1/3 or so. Lots of crap in there that I probably will never post.

Yeah, I was going to post that here. I was on a serious 'posting' roll for a bit. This is Sheila being dumped into the Age of Conan MMO 'world'. Hopefully Liasundur is an interesting enough Cimmerian barbarian OC.

I can't wait to see what Sheila can do alongside Tony Stark, and maybe later on with Thor, I can bet that his reaction to a tecnologically savy demigoddess is going to be memorable.

The longest one where she interacts with Tony is actually a Civil War/Secret Invasion story I have. Sheila is not happy about her civil liberties being trampled on.

Arth, I remain respectful of your ability to write. The content still seems like a bog standard 'Look how awesome my character is I'm putting them in everything' type of writing most people grow out of when they leave high school, but at least you write it well.

That's a rather interesting viewpoint on the stories. While I try to write Sheila being *involved* in the stories... Harry Potter is still the one everyone is *really* interested in (for example). I also tend to write bad things can happen to her...
 
I'm liking the new fics. Randomly checked your FF.net page while waiting for SB.com to be available again, found an enjoyable time.

Sort of wondering what Sheila would do to Star Wars (though that has a whole bloody lot of eras to play with) or F/sn, right now, but you've got so much stuff I'd like to see more of, it hardly matters which you update, or what new fic you start.

Thanks!

I'm actually having a hard time coming up with something reasonable for SW actually. Or that connects 'well' to things.
